It's very concerning that HCD certified San Diego's housing element. What type of message does this send to other cities, who are currently trying to wiggle out of rezoning? - Here are a few less than ideal sites included in SD's housing element. Without substantial rezoning of R1 neighborhoods, We worry this plan is a recipe for more displacement and gentrification. - #HousingPolicy #HousingLaw #SanDiego #YIMBY #AffordableHousing #FairHousing
🌴Touring #AffordableHousing on the Westside! • As you can see, government-subsidized Affordable Housing™️ typically serves seniors, folks with special needs, & large families. But it has so much more potential to serve all types of communities. • #SB679, which ultimately did not pass, could have made building these homes here in LA a lot easier, faster, and more cost-efficient. We hope to bring back this proposal stronger for the next legislative year. • ‼Support our work to create more Affordable Housing than ever: http://tinyurl.com/FunnyNeighbors - #HousingForAll #LegalizeHomes #Yimby #housingcrisis #housingmarket
Gentle density = affordable, inclusive, & sustainable 💚 - Current research suggests that gentle density, referring to a dense layout of low-rise buildings, is the best urban form for low-carbon cities. Paris is a real-world example of such urban growth pattern. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-25/to-cut-carbon-think-low-rise-buildings-not-skyscrapers - #GentleDensity #Housing #UrbanForm #Yimby #SmartGrowth #Urbanism #sustainability #SustainableCity
Enforcing parking *minimum* near transit makes no sense at all! 🤷🏻‍♀️ AB 1401 will fix this - it combats climate change AND makes homes more affordable. It faces an important (read: pass or die) hearing THIS THU, please help support by calling your Senator today: cayimby.org/call-ab1401 - Call script: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xLarhCJ9aqxNNi0QliejFs-LPwnEDmxa5N-vv8UKoO4/edit?usp=sharing We need AB 1401 to become the law! - #AB1401 #transit #housing #urbanplanning #housingpolicy #housingshortage #housingcrisis #climatechange #ClimateEmergency
🌴Bad Housing Element #LongBeach special - with guest host Tik Tok creator Jake Gotta. We shared our critiques for LB's housing element with Jake, who turned it into a super insightful video. Enjoy! - P.S., if you are in long beach, you can write to your council member about rezoning East Long Beach using this link: https://secure.everyaction.com/YHo-J8uEAUGwCMo0dwzgtA2 - #HousingPolicy #UrbanPlanning #FairHousing #HousingForAll #AffordableHousing #HousingCrisis #HousingShortage #HousingJustice
